We just commissioned a piece from Jeff.  Here is a video...

The multi-touch screen is very cool, cool enough for Jobs to demo his  
own version at the iphone unveiling.  Jeff used to work for Apple,  
but I have no idea if the iphone licensed his technology.  I suspect  
not, since his system (based upon a principal called frustrated total  
internal reflection--or as I call it, "adolescence") works best in  
the dark.  Jeff is a great guy to work with and his star is rising fast.
